You don’t give a whole lot to go by. The engine is most likely a 1969 350-250 h.p. With TH350(which could be the born with engine? But doubtful with an August 19 th build date). This was an optional engine, RPO L65, a low compression 2 bbl offered starting in January of ‘69, not to be confused with the LM1 that was a 4 bbl 350-255 HP discontinued in January ‘69. Or, it could be a 1966 327-350 h.p., which shares the same HD suffix code as the aforementioned L65 350-250. The 327 is a desirable high performance block. There is one other HD coded 327 with power glide from 1965, but that is all the information available n that engine. I would venture to guess that when you say it has no VIN, you are just not looking in the right place? Have you looked at the pad by he oil filter?

The transmission you don’t mention if it is an automatic, but if it has a “pan”, I assume that it is? 1st determine if it is a power glide or TH350. Then, clean the pan more and a partial VIN may appear readable. A couple of other places the partial VIN may be is along the flange that bolts to the block and on along the area where the converter dust cover bolts to. http://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml#PartialVINs
